Asos Boss Pockets £40 Million After Share Surge

Asos founder and chief executive Nick Robertson is in line for a £40 million windfall after hitting performance targets.

The online fashion retailer said two weeks ago that sales growth accelerated after a booming simmer sales and a concerted push into international markets, including Russia. 

Total retail sales at Asos in the three months to August 31 increased 47 per cent to £207.9 million. That compares to a 40 per cent increase in the full-year to the same date.

Robertson can sell around 740,000 shares, worth more than £50 each, from today. The company is worth in excess of £4 billion.
